This event is part of the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative’s 20th anniversary celebration week. Join the Linda Loring Nature Foundation’s Conservation Research, Education, and Stewardship staff to find, identify, and record as many plant and animal species as possible at the in-progress restoration area at 90 Eel Point Road, a part of the LLNF property currently closed to the general public. In 2023 several acres of invasive pine were cut opening up the landscape to sandplain grassland and heathland species. As the LLNF works to create a more resilient landscape, we plan to catalog the species currently occupying the area. We will traverse upland sandplain grassland habitat, freshwater wetlands, brackish pond edges, and some small pitch pine forest.

Help us catalog this newer property and be a part of our biodiversity inventory!
